Well, I decided that since this was an adventure of a lifetime, I was going to be brave and volunteer to drive during our Melbourne week! Oh yes, me one of the more uncoordinated people I know, elected to get into a right side car and drive on the left side of the road and attempt to keep my good friends and the strangers around me safe!! Oi vey!!
What an adventure this week has been--just driving alone.
The mantra has been---STAY TO THE LEFT and LOOK RIGHT, THEN LEFT THEN RIGHT
oh boy--the first few days my hands hurt from gripping the steering wheel so hard and my normal wonderful sense of direction was shot because i turned wherever jenny said to and just focused on staying to the right side of the lane--that was the hardest part--the instinct is to to drift left--oi vey!!
oh and the stems on the steering wheel that have the blinkers and the one with the wipers are reversed so that has been pretty funny--turning on wipers when yo uwant to turn!
Jocelyn has been my co-driver this week and has done an amazingly good job as well!
i am very proud of us and am a little scared that i won't know how to drive when i get home! Ummmm Bill--do you think you could drive me to work my first day back? :)

While you are in New Zealand if you are watching TV look for the PSA on intersections. If you thought the VW comercials in the States where bad...
"Bad Call"... smash...
Congrats Rachel! And all of the drivers!
I still can't look the proper direction to cross the street!
